Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Damon Goodloe v. Christine Brannon
Case No.: 18-2908
Officials: FLAUM, ROVNER, and WOOD, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Habeas Relief – 6th Amendment Violation – Confrontation Clause
An Illinois jury convicted Damon Goodloe of first-degree murder in the death of Pierre Jones. After losing his direct appeal and all post-conviction proceedings available in state court, Goodloe petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. After the district court denied relief on all of his claims, this court granted a certificate of appealability on his claim that evidence was admitted at his trial in violation of the Confrontation Clause. We later expanded that certificate to include his assertion that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. We now affirm the district court’s denial of habeas relief.
